And Neal is going to play his customary 16 games ?
Players with documented injuries can't be cut.Strange move IMO. Was he injured or something?

No interest. But agree with posters above that we need dept, but not with the money that Faneca is going to want. And I think our current lineup is good for another season or two.
The Jets are getting nastier and have some guys who may be solid leaders with the injection of Taylor, Tomlinson and Cromartie.
Tomlinson does not belong in the same sentence as "solid leader."
Faneca is 33 years-old and is the opposite direction the Pats need to go in terms of age and speed anywhere on the field. The Pats O-line has plenty of veteran leadership. Look for a nasty like Sebastian Vollmer to be picked from some obscure conference today.

The AFC East may become the toughest in football althoughth the Bills will continue their suckage. The Bills should move to Toronto and let some billionaire from China spend to build a dome and a team.
I thought the same. And the baby daddy with 8 child support cases? The guy does not even have a brian.
You guys are right about Tomlinson and his leadership skills. I wasn't thinking about him as the Jets' parish priest. Oops, another bad example.
Tomlinson, Taylor and Cromartie do bring successful football experience to a Jets team that doesn't have leadership at the QB position and lots of tough young guys who need that type of veteran around to help take the next step in an improving AFC East. The Pats and Dolphins seem to be getting faster, younger and tougher with their off-season moves, the draft and return of injured players from 2009. (That is said notwithstanding Crumpler and Holt who I doubt make the Pats roster.)
I think this is a stupid move by the Jets. Yes, he is old, expensive, and declining; but they don't save enough money, I think he covers for Ferguson's flaws, and he is still a good guard. They look to be replacing him with a rookie who is projected to be a project and not ready to contribute (not all of these o-linemen projects turn out like Vollmer did). Considering the Jets' offense lives and dies with their line, this could be a huge risk especially after getting rid of their 1,400 yard RB and replacing him with a second year player who has yet to prove he can carry the load for 16 games and a washed up Tomlinson.
I hope we sign Henderson so I can sit back and watch him demolish D'Bust Week 2.
